“DONATO HAD RETURNED TO HIS home after his encounter with Mrs. Wells. If not, she’d have no idea how to locate him. Searching the saloons in the neighborhood would probably be fruitful, but that was a task Sarah wasn’t prepared to handle. Mulberry Street was crowded with men returning home after their day’s work. The street vendors were doing their last rush of business, selling what remained of their foodstuffs for the evening meals. Housewives bartered in loud voices for the best deal, and chi...ldren ran and shouted, glad for a few more moments of freedom before being called in for the evening. Sarah took the winding alley that led to the rear tenement where the Donatos lived. She looked up, trying to find their windows and judge whether anyone could be at home. It wasn’t dark enough yet for anyone to be wasting a candle or gaslight, so she had no clue. Her only option was to trudge up the stairs and find out for herself. She only hoped Mrs. Donato wasn’t there alone. She wasn’t quite sure what her welcome would be under those circumstances.MoreLessRead More Read Less
